11.04.05 Recap on easter hols

So didn't quite manage/remember to post whilst on holiday, or actually since i've been back. Holidays were pretty hectic! Obv went to brussels in the first week. Had so much fun! Really cool just 2 b let loose in a city w/ ur best m8... and even better wen you both have an affinity for shopping, cheap wine and mozzerella (for those who arn't me or naz these things are seperate...)
Naz's performance was amazing. The theatre itself (see below) was spectuacular. The set was... well interesting... loads of moving blocks... if you havn't seen it you won't understand it! lol. Now the actual opera was also really good... especially the bits that i understood! lol just not used 2 listning to opera...! So well done naz and ravi - you rule!
Below are some of the pictures that snap-happy me ended up taking!

Came back on a wed night. Went to a Razorlight gig on the thurs night. Up at Alexandra Palace.. was really good. The band were amazing live, and the atmosphere was brilliant. Though there were some downsides... like getting out once it had finished... One very thin door open to let every1 out by... not the best idea!
Then did 'some' work on the fri... cleared up my room a bit... which has now gotten even worse... oops?
Went to work and then to jigna's party on the sat... once again just had a wkd time! Happy birthdat to jigna! That was the day that the clocks went forward. So left there at 2am new time... and got up at 6.30am new time to go to turkey with my family! and i can't sleep (or for that matter eat) on planes ("i don't like food at altitude")... so was a bit tired/grumpy when we got there lol! Our rooms were amazing... (see the pictures below) and the hotel was lovely (5* (though that counts less over there... but still !)) - basically its main feature had to be the food - all you can eat buffet... and the food was sooooo tempting! So nice... but there wasn't ne lunch... so we had 2 sneak pastries out of breakfast... lol
On the thurs we went on a excursion... to aspendos - an ancient theatre and perge - an ancient city. Our guide was also an archeologist, so he made the tours very interesting. Ended up with a short visit to a waterfall in antalya... pictures below!
So basically spent most of my time, sleeping, eating and reading by the pool (i never went into the outside pool like my sanity-questionable sisters (it was about 11*c...)!
